We spent the last two weeks doing Five in a Row’s How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World – Five in a Row How to make an Apple Pie & See the World is a fun book with a very natural tie-in to a study of Geography and/or apples {perfect for fall}. The […]

This year I am hoping to add some more read-aloud time to our homeschool day. Up until now, with toddlers and babies in the room, it has been fairly impossible. But then last semester I discovered that by printing out a few coloring sheets or pulling out the play doh I could distract the toddlers just enough to maybe get a chapter or two in a day. I hope that remains true. I decided to put together a list of chapter books that would pair well with the various picture books in our Five in a…

The Giving Tree

June 20th ~ 24th, 2011 For this row, we listened to The Story of Ferdinand on cd and I never could have pronounced banderilleros without it! This is a fun story about a bull who does not like to fight and likes to smell the flowers under his favorite cork tree instead. We focused on Spain, learned what a peninsula is, wrote our own little story, did the lapbooking activities from HSS to go along with the manual, made another little bag book, had some churros and smelled some flowers of our…

I have had it in the back of my mind for a while now to do a Five in a Row planning post, but have not gotten around to it. Recently, though, someone asked me
